This is my very general take: Mexican law requires you to have a mexican doctor's prescription. They're easy to come by. Many pharmacies work with a doctor.
Of course, they'll just sell to you without. But if you're caught by policia with them, they can put you in jail, unless you offer to settle the issue on the spot.
Getting them back here is another issue.
This is about what my experience has been, the biggest deal wouldn't be the Mexican cops. Usually in areas frequently occupied by tourists you can buy your way out of most petty stuff. The American authorities wouldn't offer that chance.
Also keep in mind that because you are going to a touristy place in Mexico, the cost of seeing a doctor and getting a script filled might very well take you close to the cost of using an IOP, if not exceed it.
